COIN-WRAPPING DEVICE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT CALDWELL I JACKSON, a citizen of the United States, re-

siding at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of. Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements, in Coin-Wrapping Devices, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to counting room appliances and particularly to means to facilitate the Wrapping of stacks of coins into packages or rouleaux.

The object of the invention is to simplify the structure as well as the'means and mode of operation of such devices, whereby they will. not only be cheapened in construction, but will be more eflicient in use, enabling the wrapping operation to be performedeasily, quickly and neatly, and unlikelyto get out of repair.

A further object of the invention is to provide such coin wrapping device which will be universal in its application requiring no adjustment of parts to accommodate it to coins of difi'erent diameter and in which such character capable of use. for advertising purposes. a With the above primary and otherincidental objects inview aswill more fully appear in the specification, the invention consists of the features of construction, the

parts and combinations thereof, and; the

, lar material.

'mode of operation, or their equivalents, as

hereinafter described and set forth in the claims. 50.

Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the coin wrappin device forming the subject matter hereo place preparatory to the wrapping operation. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the device shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an end elevation therepf. Fig. 4 is a erspece tive view of a modlfication of the evice as constructed of lass, porcelain or other simi-. .ig. 5 is adiagrammatic end view of the device. illustrating its universal application to coins of different diameter.

Like parts are indicated by similar charactors of reference throughout the several views.

Application med March 9. 1912. Serial No. 682,772. f

The device forming the subject matter hereof comprises a substantially V shaped trough like member arranged at an inclination to the horizontal and having an inward projecting finger or overhanging stud at its lower extremity forming a rest or stop for the collection of coins. In constructing the device there is employed a substantially M shaped body a which may be stamped or pressed from sheet material. The V shaped groove 9: of the body a is arranged at an incllnation to the horizontal as clearly shown .in Fig. 2. Secured to-the divergent side of rest for the collection of coins which are to be placed within the V shaped groove a. In the drawing the stop'member b has been shown as formed independent, of the main body a and secured thereto by rivets b. It is obvious however, that this finger or stop might comprise a tongue or finger pressed from the sheet of material forming the main body a and so be formed integral therewith. In forming the, package or rouleau, the wrapper c is first laid across the V shaped groove a of the member a after which the;

collection of coins c 'are placed within the groove a and upon the wrapper c. The collection of coin'swillbe firmly held'in contact with the stop or rest 72 by gravity due The edge of thelwrapper 0 will project bein Figs. land 2, thereby providing a projecting end to be folded down to secure the coins after they have been wrapped.

a to the inclination of the V shaped groove a By turning the forward edge of the wrapper over the collection of coinsas is. shown in Fig. 3, placing the fingers thereon and plshing forward, the collection of coins will rotated within the V shaped groove as is indicated by the dart in Fig. 3 causing the wrapper c' to be neatly andquickly wrapped theroabout. During this wrapplng operation the coins will be held in contact and parallel' with each other through their tendency to slide down the V shaped groove under the influence-of gravit which sliding movementis prevented by .t e stop or rest 12. After the collection of coins have been wrapped as per are folded down to close the package or rouleau in the usual manner.

The device may be formed from sheet metal or other material as before mentioned,

or it may be formed from plastic material as shown in Fig. 4, in which case a stud cl may be substituted for the stop 6 before described. In the formv shown in Fig. 4, the device may be employed not only for wrap ping coins but is also useful as a paper weight. In either of the forms shown in Fig. 1 or that shown in Fig. i, the device is especially adapted for use as an advertising device having peculiar qualifications for displaying bank advertising. Suitable advertising matter may be displayed either on the exterior sides of the member a or upon the divergent side of the V shaped groove thereof as clearly shown in Fig. i. Either of these positions afford broad flat surfaces conveniently located within the view of the operator.

I am aware that coin wrapping devices have been heretofore employed, but as usually constructed, such devices embody spring operated plungers, adjustable stops, or variable gages for maintaining the coins inproper position during the wrapping operation and such constructions have usually necessitated a series of devices to accommo date coins of different sizes and diameters The present device has been designed to obviate the difficulties heretofore experienced by providing a device which will be universal in application to coins of all sizes and which will be devoid of movable or adjustable bars, being. always in condition to um with coins of any diameter.

From the above descript on. it will beapparent that there is thus produced a coin wrapper of the character described, possessing the particular features of advantages income before enumerated as desirable, but which obviously is susceptible of modification in.

its form, proportion, detail construction and arrangement of parts, without departing from the principle involved or sacrificing any of its advantages.

Wh le in order to comply with the statute, the invention has been herein described 1n language more or less specific as to struc tural featmces, it is to be-understood that the invention is not limiwd to any specific de tails, but that the means and mechanism herein described comprise but one mode of putting the invention'into efiect, and the invention is therefor claimed-broadly in any (if its possible forms'or modifications within the scope of the appended claims.

Having-thus described my invention, I claim:

1. As an article of manufacture, a coin wrapping device comprising in combination, a body having an unobstructed open inclined ll-shaped groove, a bridge member at the.

lowermost end of the groove and a stop finger projection from said member along the axis of the groove and separated therefrom.

2. As an article of manufacture, a coin wrapping device comprising in combination, a body having an unobstructed substantially open inclined ll-shaped groove, a bridge member at the lowermost end of the groove, 2. stop finger projecting from said member arranged to stop a plurality of coins a dis tance from said member and arranged to pass one end of a sheet of paper between the stop finger and groove to the end of said groove,

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 5th day of March 1912. p
